Measurement Apps

As we begin to work on measurement in class, I have tried out a few free measurement apps.
Measure This app by Clever Goats Media
In this free app, students are given several different measurement tasks to perform which allows them to practice measurement terms such as smallest, biggest, least, and most.  This app allows students to practice measuring items with a ruler.  Here are a few screenshots from within the app.
Students select the item that is the smallest or biggest.

Students can practice finding the group of objects that has the least and most.
Students can arrange objects by length from longest to shortest.
Students can measure height and length by moving the ruler to the different objects on the screen.


Measure Length - Tiny Chicken app by TapToLearn Software
In this free app, students use a clear ruler to measure the animals on the screen.  The students select a unit with which to measure.  This app allows you to measure with centimeters, inches, or millimeters.  Then you move the ruler to measure the given animal.  Students tap on the correct measurement at the bottom of the screen.  Here are a few screenshots from within the app.


Happy Measuring!  Do you guys know of any more measurement apps?
